Psalm 34: 4-5, 6-7, 16-17, 18-19

"From all their distress God rescues the just."

I'm wondering if everyone thinks they're included in the just, the way everyone thinks that they're middle class. I mean, everyone can't be middle class considering that there are huge ranges. So, I suppose everyone can't be "the just" which leads me to consider that maybe I'm not part of the just. Although, I hope to be.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and those who are crushed in spirit he saves."

I have a good friend who is pregnant but who just found out that her baby might have a terrible chromosomal condition which will only allow her baby to live for hours after he or she is born. I think that the Lord is close to her. I've got nothing on that kind of brokenheartedness.
